I have Western Kentucky as a far stronger favorite than the point spread indicates in this Conference USA Tournament opener. No, the 17-14 Hilltoppers aren't some great team. But 9-22 Florida International is that bad.
The Panthers just may be the worst 3-point shooting team in the country. They are inferior to Western Kentucky both offensively and defensively.
Florida International is far from being in good form either, covering only one of its last eight games. The Panthers lost 15 of its 18 conference games.
Western Kentucky just defeated FIU, 76-67, at home this past Thursday. The Hilltoppers were 8-10 in league. They rank in the top 50 in defensive field goal percentage.
Don McHenry, an all-around star, gives the Hilltoppers the best player on the court.
